Re: Eagle PCB mill output

Hello,

Here's the link for the required ULP:
http://www.acsnet.com/~al/cnc/gcode.zip

There's been a description of the entire process over on the
CNCZONE.com forum for awhile now...

Hope this helps,

Ballendo

P.S. Also type pcb into the groups search, and you'll find Homebrew
PCB, among others...
